What Riverside's weather means for bands
Outdoor dates in Riverside run hot, with about 101 days a year at 90°F or more and an average August high of 95°F, so a soft, light-colored tee suits an open-air show better than heavy black cotton. No month averages a high under 65°F, but December nights fall to an average low of 43°F, so a small stack of hoodies covers late outdoor sets in winter. Tees lead the table for 9 months of the year, the months with average highs of 70°F and up, so put most of the order into them. About 22 days a year reach 100°F, so keep boxed stock out of the hottest part of the van and set the table in shade for any afternoon date. With only about 9.4 inches of rain a year, an outdoor merch table seldom needs rain cover, so pack a canopy for sun rather than a tarp for showers.
